That's a fair criticism. I shouldn't have said "violence". What I should have said was "homicide", because that was what was being portrayed. And that's crossing a line.

Lotta blocks to start the morning.

If you want to celebrate violence, you're not worth my time.

Honestly, I didn't mind Gritty being an asshole like that. Obviously it was stupid and mean, but you can pull it off without crossing the line.

Throwing someone over a railing isn't just crossing the line, it's ignoring the line.

It wouldn't shock me if some people got traumatized watching that.

"Oh Matt, it's just sports, it's in good fun, go touch grass"

THEY LITERALLY ENACTED A PHYSICAL ASSAULT AND GRISLY HOMICIDE IN FRONT OF A PUBLIC AUDIENCE.

If ICE isn't allowed to do it, then neither is Gritty.

We need to stop celebrating violence in this country for any and all reasons. Grow up.

And by the way, anyone who celebrates what Gritty--and therefore the Philadelphia Flyers--did tonight in that act of throwing a Penguin from one deck to another:

You are no less a psychotic than the current warmongers that run the U.S., and good luck sleeping at night with that conscience.

The Pittsburgh Penguins should be embarrassed and ashamed for their performance tonight.

Not because they lost; that was always going to be a possibility.

But to show zero effort in a must-win game against a franchise that actively MURDERED your mascot, your crest, your SYMBOL?

Disgraceful.

He realized his team was playing with house money, and didn't realize until too late that the house was the one from the Martin Scorcese film.

The Penguins deserve credit for, as they say, flipping the script.

But the Flyers are burning down the studio.

Funny, if there was a guy in that suit this would be grounds for a minimum life sentence...

I'm hoping the Penguins win tonight, but I'm not saying the Flyers have no chance of going up 3-0.

I'd say perhaps a 19.75% chance.

Key For Penguins In Rest Of Series Against Flyers May Be One Simple Thing The situation may look bleak for the Pittsburgh Penguins, as they trail their best-of-seven series to the Philadelphia Flyers, 2-0 - but there is one thing that could, potentially, make all the differ...

On the surface, things may look bleak for the #LetsGoPens heading into Game 3 in Philadelphia, as they trail 2-0 in the series.

But turning the series around could come down to one simple thing - and it feels like a "must" tonight ⬇️

Bluesky post from me that features Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, tinted red, with multiple variations on the phrase "there are no signs of stopping"

Happy birthday!

Like, seriously...this is so early-2010s Buzzfeed Survey-coded that #5 is shocking me as I speak.

Do better.

If you've ever wanted to see what "pick me girl" energy would look like through the prism of male capitalism, just follow the NHL on social media. You'll see it. 🫩

There's reaching a younger audience by learning what they like, and then there's yelling "YOLOMAXXING" before calling it a day.

Is SNL early this week? It's only Wednesday.

Bet he couldn't explain what icing is to Congress.

Bodies are not felonies. Nudity is natural. You damn nerds.

Happy two weeks everyone, by the way

Now I know why Gary Bettman wants to expand, it's so he can get a raise to afford another mouth to talk out of.

That way he doesn't have to continue talking out of both sides of the one he currently has, like he did last night.

"Get it right overwhelmingly" is such an arrogant phrase. Piss off.

Erik Karlsson is right, and everyone on the Pens but Stuart Skinner should have to eat his pregame meal as punishment for their performance tonight.

Maybe they'll play better now that they don't have a choice
